Masturbation leads to prostate cancer

“A recent study will have men shaking in their boxers if they choked the chicken a bit too much in their younger years. Researchers at the University of Nottingham have determined that men who masturbate often in their 20s and 30s are far more prone to developing prostate cancer. The scientists surveyed 800 men and about half of them had suffered from prostate cancer. The same data could be attributed to gentlemen that got their mack on frequently with the ladies, but the higher sexual activity was generally credited the act of self-love. Ironically, men over 40 that jerk-off or shag a lot of babes can reduce the risk of prostate cancer.”

Which had me Google the source of the article on Science Daily. And it did seem to be true. But I also found this article: High Ejaculation may be linked to a decreased risk of prostate cancer but that study was conducted in 2004 and then I realized that it probably depends upon who’s running the country at that time. Either that or masturbation needs to fire their publicity manager and hire a new one to stop all this bad press.
